finally!! great to see your photos and the grandies! What ever happened to Kingston - did he fall over?- boys!
Just enjoying looking at all your pics Merle - looks like you had a grand time with the kids. LOVE your veggie garden - it puts mine to great shame!!! It takes a while to unwind after the kids go home eh? I do enjoying cleaning up and thinking of the fun times we had with them. Looking forward to seeing the Ripley fam soon, hopefully. Nikita will have changed lots.
What does whanau mean? I noticed it a couple of times on your blog. I know we're all supposed to speak "english" but sometimes the english language can be different, so pardon my ignorance :-) !!
Oh ...... and I heard about the sweater for Ethan - THANK YOU for being so kind. Its great that we can do things for each other's grandies .... such a fun time of life. Fernie, where J&D are, is another 2 hrs further from us and even more out of the way!! :( .... but I can't complain to you as its closer than NZ!!!

Hi Anna, Kingston was on a ride on at Ruth's the afternoon that convention started going down the path with Jen and he put his feet down, Face plant on to his nose!!
Hi Sharon, Whanau is the maori word for family, so you're not ignorant, I most probably shouldn't have used it on here.
